Nuke Miko: Chronicles of America

But now that she finally reached her destination, there were only fifteen cats left beside her.

——The speed of non-combat attrition is a little too fast, right?

It's just that there is no turning back when you start the bow, you have already reached this point, you can't give up halfway!

The black cat goddess can only bite the bullet and continue to jump on the small windowsill of the cat cafe, trying to open the window and get in...

However, it can't be pulled apart at all.

——Since the college students who rented the shop on the ground floor and planned to open the cat cafe to start their own businesses abandoned the rent and ran away due to the outbreak of the epidemic, Miss Dolores, the landlord, used wooden boards to seal the windows and doors of the cat cafe It was blocked to prevent it from being broken in and occupied by tramps.

Even the small side windows other than the display window were firmly fastened with bolts from the inside, and the curtains were drawn.

With the strength of a cat, it is really impossible to break through the window.

As a result, after tossing for a long time and still being unable to open the window, the black cat goddess Bast had no choice but to change her way of intrusion. With the help of a dry vine, she successfully climbed up the wall and got into the vent... But not long after, She got out again in disgrace, meowing and jumping back to the ground.

——The vent of the Cat Cafe just happened to be refurbished not long ago. Not only is it equipped with a ventilation fan, but also a layer of wire mesh.

Not to mention a cat as big as her, even a newborn kitten would have no way of getting in through the vent.

No way, conventional intrusion methods are not feasible, so supernatural methods can only be used.

So, the black cat goddess Buster jumped back to the small window sill just now, raised the cat's paw and cast a [knocking technique] on the window.

The next moment, with a flash of inspiration that was not detectable by the naked eye, the small window finally opened with a "squeak".

Seeing this, the Black Cat Goddess couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and was about to call her "Cat and Cat Legion" to follow her, but she almost turned her nose out of anger:

Just as she was climbing up and down repeatedly, two-thirds of the cats following her ran away, and now there are only five cats left!

Meow!What a bunch of shameless bastards!

If it weren't for the fact that I really don't have cats to use right now, where would I find you to be my followers?

The black cat goddess Buster raised her nose and snorted disdainfully, beckoning the rest of the cats to follow, and then jumped into the cat café first.

However, she had just landed in the house, smelled the smell in the air, and hadn't had time to adapt to the suddenly darkened light in the room.

The beard of the black cat goddess Buster suddenly moved, and a trace of uneasiness flashed in her heart.

So, when her cat followers jumped into the house one by one and started to look around, the black cat goddess suddenly jumped up on the spot!

In the next moment, there was only a sound of "crawling", and the place where the cats were was flooded with flying catnip.

——Although the few college students who rented the shop on the ground floor to open a cat cafe before abandoned the rent and ran away because of the epidemic before buying cats, they have stockpiled a lot of cat food and catnip in advance.At this time, there were four full cans of catnip, which were splashed by the girls together.

As a biochemical weapon against cats, such a large dose of catnip is really effective!

"...Meow! Meow! Woo meow! (Is this heaven?)"

In the wonderful smell, the cats who were quite vigilant a moment ago were all overturned at once.

Cats of various colors, rubbing and rubbing with catnip powder, or rolling on the ground, showing belly and drooling, with crooked mouth and eyes, meowing, completely forgetting the dignity of being a cat owner .

And after the black cat goddess Buster bounced onto the wall, the cat's claws weakly scratched twice, but unfortunately failed to hook the wallpaper...

As a result, she also fell down and fell into a daze among the catnip all over the floor, and then fell on all fours in the smell of catnip, and became unconscious.

Seeing that the "intruder" was wiped out so easily, meowing on the floor and rolling into a ball on all fours, the girls, who were somewhat nervous at first, couldn't help but relax. The funny scene of these six cats having a collective hilarity.

Especially the little witch Hui Akiyama, who was not afraid of tigers when she was a newborn calf, even reached out to touch the back of the black cat goddess's neck, trying to lift her up.

But the thing is, Goddess Buster is no ordinary cat after all.

After a brief daze and confusion, she woke up from the psychedelic effect of catnip, and rolled on the spot, using spiritual power to transform into a simple and gorgeous robe, and then angrily uttered words .

"...Meow! Stupid humans! You are insulting the majesty of Goddess Buster! Obediently become my slaves!"

Immediately afterwards, the black cat goddess widened her watery cat eyes, and activated the most powerful [Charm] among the spells she has mastered so far!

At that moment, Buster's cat's eyes were full of light and sparkled more and more, as if the galaxy was reflected in it, magnificent and mysterious.

A joyful mental fluctuation spread out soundlessly, and soon enveloped a radius of five or six meters in all directions.

——This [Galaxy in the cat's eyes] seems to have infinite charm, which can make people intoxicated in an instant and unable to extricate themselves.

In an instant, the girls who were caught off guard all became dazed, their bright eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of light pink mist.

what!What cute animals these cats are!Why are they so cute?

It seems that I should kneel down to them immediately and offer dried fish?

Even Hui Akiyama, the little witch with the strongest spiritual power, was in a trance for a moment because of the close distance.

At first glance, Black Cat Goddess's cat cafe strategy, which can be described as reckless and random from beginning to end, seems to be successful?

But at this moment, the ancient fox god Yuzaoqian finally made a move!

——I saw a flash of inspiration in Akiyama Megumi's dress, the fox tail and fox ears on her body disappeared instantly, and a small nine-tailed white fox jumped out of her head, and then kicked over the black cat goddess who was casting a spell , then swung the nine tails, slapped Goddess Buster's cat face fiercely, then turned around, swung the nine tails again, and slapped the bewildered black cat goddess in turn. .

After such eighteen strokes, Buster's whole cat seemed to be stunned, and finally fell to the ground with a bang, trampled under the feet of the Nine-Tailed Fox.

At the same time, the little witch Akiyama Hui, who just woke up, felt that she was just in a daze, and saw Yuzao waving her nine tails in front of her, and "cracked" the strange black cat eighteen times repeatedly, and finally Still crushing on the cat, stepping on the cat's face with his paw?

What kind of move is this?

Subduing the dragon, no, subduing the cat with eighteen palms?

At this moment, Tamazamo, who was pressing the black cat, also uttered words, and recalled with emotion in a proficient ancient Egyptian language:

"...I haven't seen you for more than 1000 years! Buster! My old friend, can't you imagine that your old cat is still alive?

I thought you had long since fallen with your last favored one!When did you regain your sanity?Why is it so weak? "

However, the reaction of the cat god Buster made both Tamazamae and Akiyama Hui feel very strange

"... Woo meow! You stinky fox, how dare you offend the majesty of Goddess Buster? Let me go, meow!"

"...Don't you understand me, Buster? Or, you don't recognize me?"

"...Meow! What are you talking about? Are you speaking the language of foxes? Let me go! You are blaspheming!"

"...Hey, what's going on with you? Have you even forgotten the language of your own country? This situation is a bit serious..."

The nine-tailed white fox Yuzao frowned in confusion, and tried to use ancient Greek, Hebrew, Latin and many other languages, trying to communicate with the black cat goddess Buster standing under her feet, but the other party was... Can't understand any language?

"...Meow! What are you talking about? I'm hungry! Hurry up and give me dried fish!"

In this way, after going through a lot of awkward chats between chickens and ducks, no, foxes and cats, Megumi Akiyama and Tamamomae finally confirmed an unbelievable fact—the ancient Egyptian cat god Buster in front of him , can only speak American English?

How is this going?

Chapter 37: This Cat God Buster is American!

"...Is this the ancient Egyptian cat god Buster? Why does it look a little silly?"

After the short "war of gods", Akiyama Megumi rubbed the head of the black cat with his hands, and looked at her body appearance curiously.

"... Woo meow! Don't rub my head! This is blasphemy... Well, you can rub it if you want, but be gentle..."

The black cat goddess who was about to blow her fur to protest was squinted by the nine-tailed white fox squatting in the shrine next to her, and immediately obediently lay down and let her be rubbed.

Not long after, the black cat even purred contentedly under the skillful stroking technique of the little witch.

——When he was just caught, this black cat who claimed to be the goddess of Buster was still very arrogant, but after being given the "Eighteen Palms of the Cat (Tail)" in front of the ancient fox god Yuzao, After beating her violently several times, and her various spells were crushed, she obediently admitted her love.

Especially when Megumi Akiyama fed Buster and her five follower cats a full meal of canned cat food, and allowed these cats to live here, the black cat goddess Buster still spoke proudly. She is delicate, but her body has already bowed her head obediently and became the younger sister of the ancient fox god Yuzao.

As for the five accompanying cats she brought with her?Even more so, they were already holding catnip in their hands, so high that they lost all dignity, rolled around on the ground, unconscious...

So far, the little witch Akiyama Hui and her followers have proposed six cats of different colors, including a black cat god.

However, she and Tamamo-mae were deeply puzzled about the true identity of the cat god Buster.

Although this black cat who speaks people and can use spells has always claimed to be the cat goddess Bast, it does look like Bast in ancient Egyptian mythology. , also very similar to the style of ancient Egyptian civilization...

But in the process of communicating with this black cat goddess, Tamamomae always felt that something was wrong.

After all, the ancient fox god Yuzao had personally dealt with the cat god Buster of Bubastis City and witnessed his fall.

And the cat god Buster in front of him is obviously very different from the elegant and wise Egyptian cat god Buster in Yuzao's memory...

——How can there be an Egyptian cat god in this world who can't speak ancient Egyptian at all?

sex

The cat god Buster, also known as the cat goddess of Bubastis, is the cat god of ancient Egyptian mythology with a very long history.

How long is her history?It is longer than the origin of Chinese civilization!

When Emperor Yan and Huang of the Central Plains were still fighting Chiyou, the cat god Buster had been born in the Nile Delta of Lower Egypt for more than 1000 years!

Therefore, even Yuzao, who was once the lord of Qingqiu, had to bow his head and call out sister or senior in front of the Egyptian cat god Buster.

Even the so-called "oldest king", Gilgamesh of Uruk, is just a younger brother in front of the cat god Buster.

Because, as early as 3000 BC before the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt, Bast, the cat god of Bubastis, was revered in Lower Egypt as the goddess of war.Its image is a beautiful black cat, and it will also be transformed into a half-human, half-cat beauty holding a fork bell (instrument).

After the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt and the establishment of the first dynasty of ancient Egypt, Sekhmet, the lion goddess of Upper Egypt, robbed the priesthood of war, and Bastet, the cat god of Lower Egypt, slowly transformed from the god of war into the moon. Goddess and patron of the home, and god of fertility and harvest.

At the same time, the cat god Bast was also claimed to be the incarnation of the sun god who killed the big snake, and the patron saint who guarded the ship carrying ghosts to the underworld, as well as the title of "Mother of Pharaoh and Teacher", which is the ancient Egyptian belief system It has always been popular and loved by all Egyptians.

Even the unique eyeliner method used by ancient Egyptian women to make up is said to have imitated the characteristics of cat eyes. In the 3000-year history of ancient Egypt, in the 31 dynasties before and after, the rise and fall of the gods fluctuated, but the cat god Bath But the unique incense is enduring.

Except for Bubastis, the holy city of cats in Lower Egypt, even in temples dedicated to other gods in other places in ancient Egypt, cats were raised as holy beasts and fed according to rituals (playing "Assassin's Creed People who read "Origin" should know)—especially in the era of the black pharaohs in the late ancient Egyptian civilization, when Bubastis served as the capital of Egypt for 200 years, this cat god worship was pushed to its peak.

(At that time, the Egyptian pharaohs were black, so they were called the Black Dynasty, but the capital was in Cat City. It seems that it could also be called the "Black Cat Dynasty"?)

At that time, the ceremony of the cat god Buster in the city of Bubastis was one of the most important festivals in ancient Egypt under black rule.During the annual festival, more than 70 Egyptians will visit Bubastis by boat, where they will sing, dance, drink and revel - which shows the magnitude of the scene.

Even in the later Greco-Roman era, the belief in the cat god Bastet did not decline, but spread to the Greeks and Romans.

——In the ruins of the city of Pompeii covered in volcanic ash in Italy, someone found a shrine dedicated to the cat god Bastet.

Regrettably, under the scouring of a long time, nothing can last forever, dynasties will decline, countries will perish, and gods cannot live forever.

Although the cat god Buster has lived longer than the entire ancient Egyptian civilization, he even once achieved the achievement of "breaking the circle" and spreading the belief to lands outside Egypt.But in the late Roman Empire, when Christianity rose by rocket and swept the entire Mediterranean world, like many ancient pagan beliefs that were destroyed and replaced by Christianity at that time, Bastet, the cat god in Lower Egypt, finally came to an end.

According to Yuzao, with the last cat god, Ms. Hypatia, in Alexandria at the end of the fourth century AD, she was captured by an early Christian supernatural being and tortured and killed. At that time, she was already a dying cat god Sturt was soon besieged by angels and fell.

At that time, I was not doing well in the East, and I originally thought of Egypt to join the elder Yuzaoqian, but I saw the death of the cat god Hypatia and the fall of the Bast Temple in Egypt, and I was frightened immediately Turning around in a hurry, he couldn't even collect Buster's body.

According to the information she obtained afterwards, the cat god Buster has probably really fallen since then, completely disappearing into the dust of history.

But what this ancient fox god never imagined in her dreams was that after more than 1000 years, she would meet the cat god "Baster" again in a new land separated by oceans from Egypt... The strange thing is that this cat Goddess "Buster" did not recognize Tamamo-mae.

Well, not only did she not recognize the "old sister" in front of Yuzao, but she was also surprisingly stupid.

——According to Tamamomae's repeated probing, this black cat who calls himself Buster looks a lot like Buster, the Egyptian cat god in Bubastis City, but it's really not as realistic as it used to be. This guy has no memory of ancient Egyptian civilization, let alone ancient Greece and ancient Rome.

She just vaguely feels that she should live in a sunny desert oasis nourished by rivers, enjoy the warm sunshine and delicious dried fish, and there are many cats and shit shovelers to play with her and make her happy ... Isn't this the highest dream of an ordinary cat?

Miss Buster!If you only pursue this, then it feels too inferior!

As the oldest god who was born almost at the same time as human civilization, is that all you have to offer?

In addition, the spells and abilities mastered by this "Buster" are not the same as the majestic Buster goddess Yuzao knew before. Apart from being very weak, there is always a certain style. A paradoxical feeling... Even if it's amnesia, it won't be so bad, right?

What's more, this place is a new continent separated by oceans from the old continent, not the old land of Egypt. How did the cat god Buster come back to life?

——The reason why the ancient fox god Tamamo-mae was able to be revived is because, on the one hand, her incarnation of Inari God has always been very popular in Japan and has many believers. Even among the Japanese immigrants in California, she still has a little influence.

On the other hand, it was because Akiyama Megumi brought the killing stone to the western United States, where the aura was revived, to act as a catalyst, and he was awakened by a series of coincidences.

But what about Bastet, the cat god of ancient Egypt?

Even when she was defeated by the extraordinary forces of Christianity and fell, she did leave behind some resurrection hands.But after a thousand years, her foundation has been completely wiped out—in this world, where are the temples and priests that serve the cat god Buster?

Even in Egypt, the belief in the cat god Buster has been washed away by the years, let alone the United States, which is far away from the ocean!

How could such a god who had lost all priests and believers long ago be resurrected in a foreign land where he had never set foot?

In addition, according to the black cat goddess "Buster" in front of her, she was just an ordinary stray cat on the street. She didn't come into contact with any ancient relics or meet any strange people. With wisdom and divine power...

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a routine for the resurrection of ancient gods, but rather like the epiphany of mortal beings.

Although there is never a shortage of adventures in the world of mysticism, such barbaric growth is by no means the way for ancient gods to be revived in foreign countries.

But looking at it this way, it is impossible to explain why she called herself "Buster"?

Smart people may cling to celebrities and dignitaries to increase their status, but how can this stupid and neurotic cat have such an IQ?

For such doubts, after the ancient fox god Yuzao couldn't figure it out, he closed his eyes and rested his mind, and was too lazy to think about it.On the other hand, Megumi Akiyama, who has been studying hard lately through the Internet and has acquired a lot of occult knowledge, is still stroking cats while continuing to question the details of the black cat goddess Buster.
